I had put it down to tyre pressure, but wonder if it may also be related to the KW/other kit or height setting... Just did a Google, and as Doug says, it's a solid unit. I too have wondered if the other suspension components have added to the problem . I have KW's fitted but this was done before I ...

Did the OP mention what pressure these Vreds were run at? The problem could also be compounded as there is no way of knowing what the actual tyre pressure was at point of tyre failure against the knobbly bit. What if there was a slow leak present for the last xx miles? An unbalanced wheel might cau...

And the other side

OK. So I've put on 2 new Vreds + ground off ol Knobbly. Took some photos along the way.

^^ So by that ratioale, either the bearing had play, the "knobby bit" is at fault or the tyre sidewall just wasn't up to the task, ne? If the suspension bushes are worn then the whole hub carrier can find itself in the wrong position causing excess wear to the inside edge of the tyre under cornerin...

Lol. Good job the tyre pressure sensors on the 6 are as reliable as the rest of the car then!! Took mine off and threw them in the boot 2 years ago.

OK. Thanks grizz. Will call you to book. Hopefully you have an angle grinder to stop it shredding tyres too? ATS won't do it!

I think what may be useful is some sound advice as to which tyres will fit without a problem. My previous tyres were Pirellis and they had worn down perfectly. Only reason I went for the Vreds was because of good feedback on here which makes me think that generally people have no problem with them. ...

255/35's 19's Ultrac Sessanta's - that's what my car shredded! As I've asked - is this an issue with Vreds or is it an issue with the car? I really do think it needs addressing. One day someone will plough through a bus stop because of a blow out. I for one wouldn't like to explain to the police why...

I've seen the photos of the shredded Vreds on here. The bit I'm struggling to find is the section of the handbook that tells me which tyres I can fit without killing myself. Also no reference in handbook to the crap suspension system, paper brake disks, cardboard oil cooler pipes, glass gearbox, cou...

Back again and not happy! Simple question. After an OSF blow out yesterday I soon found on here reference to the "knobbly bit". My Vredestein had a 6 inch slash across the inner edge even though the rest of the tyre had 3-4mm of tread left. Is this problem specific to the tyre, the particular car or...

The turbos are not sequential, there is one for each half of the engine. Mine had a problem where the acceleration would tail off towards the red line, in fact it would take (what seemed like) an age to get there. The lower revs were OK at the start of this problem........In my case it was the O2 s...

Hey guys. I've a strange issue and wondered if anyone knows what may be wrong. My RS6 seems to have lost power at around 4500rpm. Kickdown seems fine and car shoots up to a certain point then boom - the last 2000RPM or so it feels dead - like an old diesel! It's almost as if it drops into top gear w...

I'm not trying to start a price war but I guess I hoped that with a labour intensive job there may have been bigger savings to be had over the stealers. I've no doubt in your ability Grizz to do the job properly, especially given the feedback on here. Just to clarify, the £ 850 tag was belt + tensio...

Mmmm. Now I am confused. Wasn't gonna mention names but it was Unit 20 that quoted me £54 less?
